Divider - Rear Seat to Trunk - Coupe - METAL - New ~ 1969 - 1970 Mercury Cougar

This panel seals off the trunk compartment nicely and adds structural rigidity if you permanently attach it through welds or structual adhesive. The panel will need some trimming because these cars were never built perfect or straight. Make sure you metal prep, prime, and paint both sides before you install it. I used 3M Structural Adhesive to bond the panel in place with screws holding it while the adhesive cured. Make sure you do not apply primer or paint where you are gluing or welding. Nice product!!!

   

had to take a little off one of the sides but other than that perfect.

Although I welded the broken X-brace behind the seat in my 69 Cougar, I still installed one of these. It's made from heavy gauge metal and really helped strengthen that area after install. It did require a small bit of grinding around the upper rear seat hooks, but fit well overall. The additional sound-deadening will make for a much quieter interior as well.

Took a little grinding to fit, but that can be expected since each car is different. Bought this after seeing one of my rear cross braces were separated from the floor, really looking forward to seeing this thing stiffen up the car. Overall really quality steel plate and easy install. I love wccc and plan on buying here for all of my needs.

This is an excellent component and a "must have" for any restoration. Nice gauge metal that arrived well packaged. Took some trimming with a cut-off wheel get to fit, but provides rigidity to the area in addition to deadening sound. I glued on extra insulation to the side facing the trunk and you don't even know the panel is there.
